Organization Name Developing a Risk Management Mindset Checklist Needs Yes Attention 1. Do you have a designated risk manager who is familiar with your ministry’s policies and procedures? 2. Does your risk manager have adequate time for this responsibility and the authority to implement risk control measures? 3. Do you have a risk management committee made up of members who have professional experience in areas like administration, finance, childcare, or construction? 4. Do the members of your risk management committee possess good communication skills and the ability to creatively solve problems? 5. Do you evaluate which areas of your ministry could cause the highest number of losses (accidents, damages, injuries)? 6. Do you determine which areas of your ministry could cause the most expensive losses? 7. Do you determine which areas of your ministry could benefit the most from safety improvements? 8. Do you make a list of which areas of your operations are most important to your ministry? 9. Do you make a comprehensive list of potential hazards within each area of your ministry? (These include damage or loss of equipment, damage or loss of property, theft or loss of finances, illness, lawsuits against the ministry, sexual abuse or molestation, injury or death.) 10. Do you estimate the frequency of each potential hazard, from highly unlikely to highly likely? 11. Do you determine the severity (or cost) of each potential loss, from low to high? 12. Do you consider the relationship between risk frequency and risk severity? (For example, drowning has a low frequency but high severity. Slip-and-fall accidents generally have a high frequency but low severity.) 13. Do you identify ways to avoid high-frequency, high-severity risks? 14. Do you identify ways to prevent high-frequency, low-severity risks? 15. Do you identify ways to reduce low-frequency, high-severity risks? (Continued next page) Needs Yes Attention 16. Do you identify ways to modify your plan to better control risks? 17. Do you record the reasons behind your risk assessments in writing? 18. Do you regularly re-evaluate hazards to be sure that you are appropriately addressing them as your ministry changes through the years? This is a sample document only. Your organization is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.

Background Hazards exist in every workplace in many different forms: sharp edges, falling objects, flying sparks, chemicals, noise and a myriad of other potentially dangerous situations. Controlling hazards with engineering and administrative controls is the best way to protect employees When these controls are not feasible or do not provide sufficient protection, personal protective equipment (PPE) must be use. In line with this rational for controlling or eliminating workplace hazards, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued the Personal Protective Equipment standard, also know as "The PPE Standard." Under this standard, the University is required to: • Conduct hazard assessments to determine if PPE is necessary to protect employees and certify in writing that assessments have been performed. • Select appropriate PPE, where necessary. • Provide employees training on proper care, use and limitations of the selected PPE. • Ensure the PPE is properly used. This HSI, developed by Risk Management & Safety outlines the minimum requirements to protect employees from hazards in the workplace by using personal protective equipment to supplement other primary hazard controls.

Permits-To-Work in the Process Industries
SYMPOSIUM SERIES NO. 151 # 2006 IChemE PERMITS-TO-WORK IN THE PROCESS INDUSTRIES John Gould Environmental Resources Management, Suite 8.01, 8 Exchange Quay, Manchester M5 3EJ; [email protected] The paper presents the collective results from a number of Safety Management System audits. The audit protocol is based on the Health and Safety Executive pub- lication ‘Successful health and safety management’ and takes into account formal (written) and informal procedures as well as their implementation. Focused on permit-to-work systems, these have shown a number of common failings. The most common failure in implementing a permit-to-work system is the issue of too many permits. However, the audit protocol considers the whole risk control system. The failure to ‘close’ the management loop with an effective regular review process is the largest obstacle to an effective permit system. INTRODUCTION ‘Permits save lives – give them proper attention’. This is a startling statement made by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in its free leaflet IND(G) 98 (Rev 3) PTW systems. The leaflet goes on to state that two thirds of all accidents in the chemical industry are main- tenance related, with the permit-to-work (PTW) failures being the largest single cause. Given these facts, it comes as no surprise that PTW systems are a key part in the provision of a safe working environment. Over the past four years Environmental Resources Management (ERM) has been auditing PTW systems as part of its key risk control systems audits. Numerous systems have been evaluated from a wide rage of industries, covering personal care products man- ufacturing to refinery operations.

Permit to Work Systems
Loss prevention standards Permit to Work Systems High risk work can become even more hazardous due to unsafe conditions and human error. Formal controls, such as a permit to work system, must be followed by everyone and enforced properly to be effective. Aviva: Public Permit to Work Systems Introduction The aim of a permit to work system is to remove both unsafe conditions and human error from a high-risk process, by imposing a formal system detailing exactly what work is to be done and when and how to undertake the job safely. Permit to work systems are used where the potential hazards are significant and a formal documented system is required to control the work and minimise the risk of personal injury, loss or damage. Operation of the Permit to Work System Examples of work in which a permit to work system should be used include: • Entry into confined spaces • Work involving the splitting or breaking into of pressurised pipelines • Work on high voltage electrical systems above 3,000 volts • Hot work, e.g. welding, brazing, soldering, etc. • Work in isolated situations or where access is difficult • Work at height • Work near to, or requiring the use of highly flammable/explosive/toxic substances • Fumigation operations using gases • High-risk operations involving contractors, such as excavation works, or demolition works Designing the Permit to Work System Permit to work systems demand robust, formal and effective controls in place to prevent danger, as well as good standards of organisation to ensure compliance. - include fire extinguishers being available for hot work, or harnesses and resuscitation equipment available when entering confined spaces.

Lockout/Tagout Compliance Guide and Checklist
Lockout/Tagout Compliance Guide and Checklist Scope: The OSHA Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) standard (29 CFR 1910.147) covers the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment in which the unexpected energization or start up of the machines or equipment or release of stored energy could cause injury to employees. Energy sources may include: electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, nuclear, thermal or other energy. Application: This standard applies to the control of energy during servicing and/or maintenance of machines or equipment. Normal production operations are not covered by this standard. Servicing and/or maintenance which takes place during normal production operations is covered by this standard if: 1. An employee is required to remove or bypass a guard or other safety device; or 2. An employee is required to place any part of his or her body into an area on a machine or piece of equipment where work is actually performed upon the material being processed (point of operation) or where an associated danger zone exists during a machine operating cycle. Applications not covered: Minor tool changes and adjustments which take place during normal production operations are not covered by the standard if they are routine, repetitive and integral to the use of the equipment for production, provided that the work is performed using alternative measure which provide effective protection. D Cord and plug connected electrical equipment when the employee performing the service or maintenance controls energization by unplugging the equipment from the energy source. D Hot tap operations involving transmission systems from substances such as gas, steam, water or petroleum, when they are performed on pressurized pipelines.
